Emerging Leader Academy Bootcamp
The Public Defender Association of Pennsylvania has created the Emerging Leader Academy to develop, train, and support a generation of new Public Defenders in Pennsylvania. The Academy focuses on best practices in holistic indigent defense and will serve to create a stronger infrastructure of defense across the state. This Academy is a yearlong intensive program open to a limited number of new-to-practice Public Defenders from different counties across Pennsylvania. The first program of the Academy is the Public Defender Bootcamp.
As the introductory session of the Emerging Leader Academy, the bootcamp has been designed to introduce Public Defender values at every stage of the criminal legal system. Because the participants are all new to practice (varying in experience from two months to three years), the bootcamp will serve as an introduction into each aspect of the system.
WHEN: January 27th - 31st
